Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Can't say that I've seen that one
The practice must vary depending on the region and the tolerance level of the local police and parking enforcement. Around Montreal, when there's no parking near a work site, some construction workers just abandon their pickup trucks anywhere there's any amount of space, often in crosswalks because that's where there's "space" left, and jam a high-vis vest in their window to show "who they are", hoping they won't get a ticket. And apparently it works or they wouldn't be doing it that much.
I find it dangerous for pedestrians as they are now emerging from both sides of a pickup truck higher than they are, making it difficult to see them from the vehicles passing that crosswalk, but it's unfortunately a frequent thing here.
